Has anyone gotten a free (public domain or limited license) TCP/IP package working on a unix-pc? If so, please tell me where I can get it and any "tricks" you need to install it. I am currently trying to install a TCP/IP package called KA9Q. It is supposed to work on system V machines, bsd machines, etc. However, the only description of the installation procedure is for an IBM PC. Doing the "obvious" stuff (various defines pertaining to slip protocol and system V installation) does not work; the machine locks up when the executable program is run. If anyone has gotten this package to work, please post or e-mail me a message telling how to do it. Thanks in advance. -- John-Marc Chandonia | jmc@nuacc.acns.nwu.edu Integrated Science Program | jmc@elvin.esam.nwu.edu Northwestern University | jmc@isp.isp.nwu.edu

Information was posted some time ago on how to retrieve it by anonymous UUCP (I've since lost the info)-: In any case, this question and others about ka9q has been posted several times by several people, but it seems that answers aren't forthcoming. It's unfortunate, because the package could possibly be useful to some people (it obviously must be, since some people put the effort into it, and are using it). What would it take to convince anyone who has successfully set up and used the package to post even the most basic information on configuration and usage? -- Robert J.

It Um, what hardware do I have to have (besides a 3b1) to to TCP/IP? I'm working on a project that may use a large number of 7300/3b1s (they're cheap, easy to repair, etc) and I'm keeping track of ways to put them together. Does this require the Starlan card? Is Starlan = ethernet? thx in advance. -- J. Eric Townsend | "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs.

There is a difference in the config files, but only the name of the files not the actuall commands. autoexec.net (on dos) has been replaced with startup.net (on unix). > >There is a version of ka9q that has been "tuned" to the 3b1. >Information was posted some time ago on how to retrieve it by >anonymous UUCP (I've since lost the info)-: I have a "tuned" version of ka9q's tcp/ip code running on my 7300.. I have it link to my other 7300,3B2 and dos machines.

It's unfortunate, because the package could possibly be What problems are you having? I have been running the code for several years now.. Most of my work is "on the air", but I do slip link some of my other pc's, you can drop me some mail if you have some questions. I am not sure how usefull the package really is over a slip link. YOu can ftp files around systems, adn email is supported, but if your looking for RFS/NFS and other things ka9q packages dosent have it. Phil wrote the code with the amature radio community in mind. The source is available so you can change what you want. the code is ever changing, there are many people making mods. Soon, most likley before "DAYTON" (that end of april for non-hams), there should be another offical release of the code with more enhancements. -- Gary W.

Are these files available for FTP'ing anywhere? OR.. would someone in the area
download them and put them up for anonymous FTP? A posting to unix-pc.sources
would be appreciated, as I have gotten several mail responses to my original
article. Of course, if someone would like to mail them to me, that would
be best of all! :-)
Thanks,
